I remember my grandmother cooking the best, lightest, fluffiest pikelets ever, however I do not have her recipe and she has since departed this earthly life.
It got me to thinking and I wondered how many of you out there have some great recipes for making pikelets, possibly handed down through the generations. If so I hope that you might like to share them with us.
Now please..real recipes, not suggestions that I buy a packet mix or similar.
Cheers B

Haven't made any of them myself.
Marther Gardner was a Melbourne Radio talk-back show host for around 30 years. All of her recipes and household hunts were tried and tested by hundreds of listeners, for years.
She was the one who had the Original Wool-Mix Recipe. I got that from her years ago.
Would have thought the CWA ones would be good. I know their Ice-cream recipes are.
Cheers,
Sheba.

Here you go, one from each side of the family, both my great grandmother's recipes
#1- paternal side
4 tablespoons self raising flour
2 tablespoons sugar
pinch of salt
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
grated rind of one lemon
juice of half a lemon
Sift flour and salt, add sugar, then lipuids to dry ingredients, beat well and make into a smooth batter.
Drop from a spoon on to a heated and greased hotplate
These are my favourite and have never failed me yet.
#2 - maternal side
1 cup self raising flour
1/2 teaspoon of carb soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 egg, well beaten
1 cup sour milk (ordinary full cream milk with 1 teaspoon of vinegar will do the job)
1 teaspoon melted butter
Sift flour, measure and add soda and salt and sift again
Combine egg and milk and add to flour gradually stirring constantly.
Beat until smooth
Add melted butter
Bake on hot well greased pan
Sorry about the delay and thanks for reminding me B.
